Nilza Costa is a Brazilian singer and composer from Salvador (Bahia), a city located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and strongly influenced by “Afro” traditions.
A passion for music is transferred to her from her Afro-indigenous origins that she accompanied in the religious services of Candomblé, allowing her to get closer to Yoruba culture. In Salvador da Bahia she has performed as a solo voice in the chorus from Igreja de São Lazzaro and in the scenic chorus from Olodum.
Since 2006 she resides in Italy. Always supported by the contribution of exceptional strumentists from the Italian jazz scene, her artistic history has been enriched by numerous live shows across Europe and by illustrious collaborations.
A peculiarity of Nilza Costa is to combine the ancestral rhythms of Africa with some popular forms of Brazilian culture and religion such as Candomblé, Capoeira, Samba Duro, Maculel ê and Cantigas de Roda.
Her work is an artistic journey through a magical itinerary suspended between culture and languages such as Yoruba, an ancient language introduced to the Americas by African slaves.
Nella's current bandistic form is composed of Roberto "Red" Rossi (drums, percussion and vocals), Daniele Santimone (seven-string guitar) and Maurizio Piancastelli (tromba, effetti, tastiere)
